TICKET.

Application filed. September 23, 1925.

, character thereon, my object being the provision of certain improvements in tickets with the idea of preventing the forging of such tickets.

Tickets of the nature herein disclosed are commonly provided with large identifica tion numerals printed upon the obverse face of the ticket and it is at present a common practice to change these numerals, sometimes with pen and ink, but more often by using a sharp knife or razor blade and pealing' off what is known as the liner of the cardboard stock. Another desired number is then similarly peeled from a similar ticket and pasted upon the desired ticket which is then easy to pass as the genuine ticket. Such tickets, ordinarily formed of heavy cardboard, enable this fraud to be easily car ried out.

According to my invention I propose to defeat such a fraud by forming the ticket of two-ply cardboard and printing the numerals not only on the obverse face but also in reversed relation upon the reverse face. In this way I avoid the substitution of numerals as the ticket being of merely two-ply stock cannot be peeled both front and back but must he cut entirely through, leaving nothing to support an inserter section.

In the accompanying drawing which illustrates my present invention and forms apart of this specification,

Figure 1 is an elevation of the ticket looking at its obverse face. I

Figure 2 is a similar view looking at the reverse face thereof, and

Serial No. 58,193.

Figure 3 is a section taken on line 3---3 of Figure 2.

Referring now to these figures I have shown in Figure l a ticket generally indi cated at 10 and having atthe lower right and central portions the prominent identification numerals 11.

This ticket as shown, is different from the ordinary ticket first'by virtue of the fact that it is formed of two-ply stock which prevents peeling of the opposite faces there of, at opposite points without cutting en-.

tirely through the ticket. This two-ply stock is plainly indicated in the section, Figure 3.

The ticket of my invention further differs from the ordinary ticket by virtue of the fact that the numerals 11 are duplicated at 12 upon the reverse face of the ticket as shown in Figure 2 opposite, and in reversed relation to the numerals 11 and of similar size.

By thus forcing the cutting of the ticket entirely through there is nothing left with my improved ticket adapted to form a support for an inserted sectionand the chances of successful alteration are greatly reduced.

What I claim is An identification ticket formed of two-ply stock and having similar identification nuinerals printed upon its obverse and reverse CAPTILLES ALVYN LICK.
